get a new video card, and as long as you have 1 gb of ram you shouldn't have a problem.

my system (AMD 3200+ (2.2 ghz), x800 XT, 512 mb RAM, 400 GB SATA RAID 0 array) is more then able to handle all moden games. i run everything on the highest settings expect for textures as they require more ram then what i have. Untill programs and OSs are ready for a 64 bit duel core CPU there isn't much point upgrading.

this card looks very nice i ordered 2 so i can get sli action going, and for the guy who said they its not very impressive remember the 6800 ultras are CPU limited so these are probally very limited b...

As said before, upgrade to 1GB of RAM if haven't already and get a new videocard.

My personal recommendation is a 6800 non-gt/ultra. They can be had for under $200USD and even have the possibility of unlocking extra pipelines and vertex shaders to make it almost as fast as a GT. With that and a little overclocking and you got a much better card for a much lower price.

Also, even if nothing unlocks,you still have a very powerful card. Even at stock settings it will blow your 5700 away.

Upgrade to 1GB of RAM and get a 6800nu and you'll be all set for quite a while.

i do belive it's done via flashing it with a different bios version, although i don't know anymore then that; also i belive that i maybe only done on set brands/batchs (which could be so that stores can't buy them cheaper then flash them and resell them at a higher price, although i could be wrrong on this point). I can't dig up anymore at the moment though.

Unlocking pipes and shaders is really easy. You DO NOT have to flash the card with a new bios. All you have to do is download a program called Rivatuner and it does it for you. It's a great program that I use for tweaking just about every aspect of my videocard. :yes:
